This transfer pump has many dewatering applications like emptying flooded basements, stock tanks or even draining a cooled water heater.

The nice thing about this transfer pump is that it weighs less than 10 pounds so it is extremely portable.

With the 3/4" adapter it will work with a standard garden hose.

Rain Tank Pump

I bought this pump to draw water out of a 1500-gallon water tank I installed to collect rain. The inlet is connected to a 3/4-inch PVC tube and the outlet connects to a hose. The water pressure is sufficient to feed the 100-foot hose and keep our plants wet. Only small complaints is that it's a little bit noisier than I expected, but I'd buy another one if had to.

Pros:Easy To Use, Price, Reliable, I'd Buy It Again

Cons:Noise

Not Horrible

Pretty loud. Pretty small. I bought it to drain the water from an above ground pool cover. The hose curls up. Hard to get it to lay flat on the cover. Doesn't really pump a lot of water. Actually just a garden hose syphon worked better.

Product Expert

Michael,

The reason why you're getting low output is because the pump is losing its prime. Sounds like too much air is getting suction into the discharge hose. While this pump can be used to remove water from a pool cover, it is not really designed for it. You might want to considering buying a automatic pool cover pump, it would work much better for your application.

Works exceptionally well for the jobs it is designed for...great product for the price. The only thing that could make this product better is a factory installed inline switch. I did install one and it makes the product much easier to turn on and off. Otherwise it is great.

Bought the pump to flush my tankless water heater. Followed manufacturer instructions by applying vegetable oil and securely tightening connections. The pump worked as promised. Ran for 1 hour with no issue. I expected the pump to be loud but was pleasantly surprised. I recommend this pump for my application.

Works Well, But Needs A 15' Hose

Using it to clean bottom of water fountain that has fish and plants. But I had to cut up a hose to get the maximum 15' length, since that's not a standard length in stores. Works well so far however.

Would also help to have an on/off switch on the motor vs. having to plug and unplug the cord.

Awesome Product

I purchased a PC2 5.7 gpm Wayne Pump for my pressure washer so i could use it with my 300 gallon tank. The pump worked extremely well my unit never wanted for water. The pump did exactly what I was told it would do. I will should I ever need another pump be shopping at Water Pumps Direct. I really respect the truth I was given by the sales rep on this unit. Thanks again for your very good product and expert help in selecting the correct one.

We chose this pump to transfer water from one storage tank to another. So far, we've used it twice for about an hour each time.

It works well and pumps the amount of water indicated; the only improvement would be an on/off switch.

Bought pump to use on solar pool heater. Had a 25 gallon a minute pump that was to fast. Purchased this pump for slower flow. Had on a time clock to turn on for 1/2 hour off for 1/2 hour, between the hours of 0900 and 1700. Pump did not hold up. Quit working after two weeks. Pulled brushes out and found them wore less than half way down. Motor seized up. Tore apart to find where brushes on rotor or stator was melted. Apparently not the right pump for the application. I didn't think that it was overworked.

Darryl,

I'm sorry to hear of the issues you experienced with your Wayne pump. Please note that the pump instructions do state, "Brushes for this pump should be inspected after 75 hours of operation and replaced if worn. They must be replaced every 100 hours of operation. Service one brush at a time". That said, you might try calling tech support at 800-237-0987 for further assistance. They are very good about handling issues such as this.
If you have any problems or other questions, please let me know.

Much better than the last pump I bought (from a different site), works as advertised. I have very hard water & used this to pump vinegar through the coil in my boiler & saved the expense of having to purchase a new coil ($220) and labor for a plumber. It got all the lime & mineral deposits out of the coil. Very happy with this purchase.

Summer Rains

My PC2 has been great!!! In the hard summer rains experienced in NE Florida, I formerly had rain going into the Florida room on the house because the gravity drain could not carry all the water away fast enough.

Now when I get those rains, I just plug in the PC2 and let the pump carry all the water away and into the drainage ditch. The Florida room remains dry and usable and the follow-up cleanup is now non-existent.

Thanks to Wayne and Water Pump Direct.

Rainfall From Isaac

I ordered my PC-2 and received it in two days!!!

What set the entire process into place was when NE Florida was advised TS Isaac was inbound. When the outer bands of the storm passed NE Florida, I applied power to the pump and immediately had a stream of water being evacuated from the deck/patio surrounding my pool.

When all was over, my Florida room was as dry as if the sun was shining. For the first time in two years the floor was not covered with water and the pump kept the water level in the gravity drain below the intake level.

The PC-2 functioned perfectly and I would have ordered sooner had I known this was the solution to my water problem.

Thanks, Wayne and Water Pumps Direct- you bailed me out of several hour's work.

Bad Hose

I got this water pump for deer camp. The pump works great for pumping water from a 75 gal. tank in the back of my truck to my camper holding tank. It only takes about 20 minutes for set up and pumping of water and putting pump and hoses back up for storage, not a long process at all.

The pump works GREAT very pleased. The only problem the hose that came with pump had to be replaced due to poor packing. The hose was cramped and pinched "FOLDED OVER" in half in one spot it was cracked and would not pump right. Not that big of a deal just got another hose.

As far as the pump, we have used it several times now and what a great product. Also, fast delivery- about 2 days to my home in Ga. I haven't had a chance to contact the manufacturer yet about the hose, I'm just too busy working and hunting as much as possible.

I will let them know about the hose real soon, but like I said- no big deal.

Wayne..pc2

I bought a Wayne..PC2 transfer pump to clean a film of extremely fine silt from the bottom of my freshly plastered (white plaster)swimming pool. The Wayne..PC2 transfer pump comes with a plastic pick-up arm attachment the goes on the end of your hose that picks up the water. This pump did a fairly good job of removing the silt. However the plastic pick-up attachment has internal parts that are made from iron or steel that rust. Now I have a nice rust stain on the bottom of my freshly plastered (white plaster) swimming pool that I have to look at for the next 20 years. The internal parts of the pick-up attachment should have been made from stainless steel since they live in water. Very disappointed.

Wayne Pump

I bought this little pump to aid in emptying an above ground pool. I had already drained most of the 6000 gallons out but needed to pump out the remainder. This pump is perfect for that because the attachment that comes with the pump enables draining down to about 1/8 inch deep. I expect to need it to pump out rain water after the pool is covered for winter.

Hi Steve,

Happy to hear you're enjoying your WAYNE PC2! It's a mighty little pump, isn't it? We are constantly trying to engage our customer base, so please feel free to reach out to us at cs@waynepumps.com, with any questions/concerns you may have.

In our area we are in a drought and are not allowed to use any outside water. We bought the transfer pump to be able to recycle our laundry and bath water to be able to water our flowers, trees and landscape plants.

The pump is so easy to use that even my wife can operate it by herself. It has been a great product for us. We even have a friend that now wants to do the same thing we are doing to be able to keep her plants.

Great Pump For The Money

I live on a lake with a wooden boat dock. I have electricity but no water other than the lake. I use an electric power washer hooked up to this pump. I was advised not to buy WAYNE mainly due to warranty issues. You have to run the power washer continuously but it works great for about 30 minutes. The pump will shut after around 30 minutes so you have to let it cool off before you continue. I now run it for around 20 minutes and then let it cool down for 15. For the price IT WORKS VERY WELL FOR THIS PURPOSE.

"I purchased my pump from Water Pumps Direct. For my use I was directed to contact WAYNE direct. This worked well."

Purchased this pump to replace a Wayne PC1 12 volt that wore out after several years. The PC2 easily pumps 5GPM from a rain barrel uphill about six feet to a vegetable garden. It primes itself easily and maintains pressure during usage. A bit on the noisy side but I'm ok with that as the desired outcome is to pump water.

This is the perfect size and the power is awesome. Thanks and a great buy. Phil.

Pond Cleaning

Draining my 2 ponds with the PC2 was as simple as it gets. I took it out of the box, attached the suction hose and the 25 foot outlet hose and plugged it in. It immediately began pumping out the pond. It is very quiet, small, lightweight and efficient. Well worth the money.

"Wayne pump worked great. It pumped faster than I thought it would. Had no problems priming pump. Great pump."

The Wayne PC2 pump is functional, efficient and is relatively quiet. A few quick notes for buyer consideration. Output and input hose attachments are both 5/8 in (output is not 3/4 in as advertised). The pump does not have an on/off switch. Finally, the 5.7 GPM is likely based upon zero head of back pressure, as I experienced less than 2 GPM but I was expecting that (I had approximately 4-5 feet head of back pressure maybe more).

Great Pump

I have a multiple level yard, and I had the need to move water from one level to the next, Approximately 18' to 20' high.

Read about this pump, and I was surprised at how small it is. At first I was doubtful that a pump this small could pump water 20' up, but I was wonderfully surprised when it filled a 60 gallon rain barrel in 15 minutes.

I do wonder though about longevity and maintenance, but time will tell.

I'm very happy with the pump so far, and the price was $20.00 less than Home Depot, Lowe's, or Amazon.

This Is Not A Demand Pump

Before I placed the order, I phoned and asked if this was a "Demand Pump"? The lady I talked to said yes it was. Well obviously she does not know what a "Demand Pump" is because it IS NOT.

So I can only use it to do my laundry if I stay right there to unplug it whenever the machine is not using water. That makes it not really practical for my purpose, but it pumps water fine.

I'm looking into other choices, and also trying to sell this pump to someone who can use this "Continuous Supply" type pump.
